Description Chris Lieb 2004-08-24 22:08:28 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc-3.3.4 glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r0; gcc compiled with java and fortran77 support
OS:                Linux

When I emerge kdemultimedia, it errors:

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: main.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

When I compile with -fPIC, it completes.  However, not KMix will not recognize any output devices and only has "Dummy" input devices, and Noatun crashed when I attempt to start it.  I am running a 64-bit install on an Athlon64.

Comment 1 Chris Lieb 2004-09-07 03:52:45 UTC

After recompiling the dependencies of kdemultimedia, it compiled without requiring -fPIC.  Also, Noatun now works.  However, KMix still fails to recognize my sound card.  Also, when I try to play (KsCD) or rip (KAudioCreator) a CD, I get the following error message:

CDROM read or access error (or no audio disc in drive).
Please make sure you have access permissions to:
/dev/cdrom

I'm not sure if these problems are related, or if they should be placed in a new bug.

Closing as invalid.
